AMT Configuration Menu
After you completely configure the Intel® Management Engine (ME) feature, you must reboot before configuring the Intel AMT
for a clean system boot. The image below shows the Intel AMT configuration menu after a user selects the Intel AMT
Configuration option from the Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx) main menu. This feature allows you to
configure an Intel AMT capable computer to support the Intel AMT management features.
You need to have a basic understanding of networking and computer technology terms, such as TCP/IP, DHCP, VLAN, IDE,
DNS, subnet mask, default gateway, and domain name. Explaining these terms is beyond the scope of this document.
The Intel AMT Configuration page contains the user-configurable options listed below.
For images of these menu options, refer to the " Enterprise Mode Setup " and " SMB Mode Setup " pages of this document.

Host Name
A hostname can be assigned to the Intel AMT capable computer. This is the host name of the Intel AMT-enabled computer. If
Intel AMT is set to DHCP, the host name MUST be identical to the operating system machine name.
